Wildcard mapping in IIS 7.0 not working

Question

I can't seem to get the ASP.NET engine to handle ALL wildcard mapping.

When I try to make a request that is supposed to be handled by the asp.net engine, i get a 404 error from the StaticFile handler

Here is the content of my web.config file.

You will notice that the last entry contains the wildcard mapping rules.

Answer 1

It is also the only name with spaces in it.

Answer 2

You already have another handler assigned for wildcards; the first one in the list that matches will be used. You might be able to get yours to fire by moving it before StaticFile.

However, what are you trying to do? Are you just trying to do some pre or post processing around static files? If so, you can do that in an HttpModule, without forcing a different handler.
